SPORTING SHOE.

Application filed December 26, 1924, Serial No. 758,215, and in France December 28, 1923.

This invention relates to improvements in sporting shoes and its object is to provide improved means to prevent slipping, which are simple in construction, can be readily attached to a shoe, and which are incapable of inflicting injury on other players.

lVith the above object in view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Fig. 1 is an inverted plan of a shoe-armed with two cramped plates in accordance with my invention;

Fig. 2 is an inverted plan showing the details of the front plate on a larger scale.

F ig. 2 is an elevation of the same.

Fig. 3 is an inverted plan of the heel plate.

Fig. 3 is an elevation of the same.

Fig. 4 is a section on the line a-a of Fig. 3. Fig. 4 is a detail plan of the metallic cramping stud.

Fig. 5 is a detail section on the line 12-?) of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 1s a detail plan of the cramping stud.

The shoe is armed with two plates 3, 4, of metal. (by preference hard aluminium). According to the present invention, the cramping studs 1 which are interchangeable, are screwed on bolts 2 which are threaded and which are cast integrally with the metallic plates 3, 4, which constitute the armor of the shoe sole. These plates are respectively nailed to the front part of the sole and on the heel, for which purpose holes 5 are provided in the said plates.

The front plate 3 is provided with four 40 threaded bolts or projections 2. The heel firmly on the sleeve.

This india rubber cap may be reinforced by means of a ver fine lron ring 7 mm 1 bedded therein as s own.

The cramping devices or studs are of truncated lnverted conical form.

A saw or milling cut 12 in the head part of the cap 18 and corresponding to the cut 14 of the india rubber cover permits screwing on of the cramping device by means of a screw driver.

The metallic armor being, according to the invention, in two parts, the shoe preserves its flexibility. The hard aluminum plates are extremely light and durable.

What I claim, is 2- In combination with a plate for application to a shoe sole and provided with a downwardly extending bolt, a stud of flexible material and a sleeve embedded in said stud and arranged for threaded engagement with said bolt to secure the stud to said plate,

and a reinforcing ring embedded in said stud and extendingaround said sleeve.

In witness whereof I afiix my signature.

LOUIS DESCHAMPS.
